Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General What to replace the Contour with, its very broken?

Hmm...thats a tough one. One option is to get a junk yard or used tranny for the contour and get it fixed. I blew the tranny on my jeep grand cherokee a while back, and it was like $2200 to get a new tranny, but I could get a rebuilt one installed for 800-900. I ended up getting rid of it, but hey that was just me.

the 05 mustang is sweet, although rwd might pose a problem in the winter. You might see what kinda of "beater" you can get for a few grand anyhow-- you might end up needing it for the winter. Id look around and see what you can find in the local car classifieds, etc...maybe ebay or yahoo autos are worth checking out too. Good luck!
